DELIVERY, TRANSFER OF RISKS, RESERVATION OF TITLE
- The delivery of the Vehicle takes place after full payment of the whole Price (principal amounts and incidentals) of the said Vehicle, i.e., after the Effective Date.
- Unless agreed otherwise, the Vehicle is sold ex-works, i. e. the Buyer must pick up the Vehicle from the Seller’s site. Consequently, the Buyer is responsible for and assumes all the risks related to the carriage, insurance and/or customs’ clearance, if any, as well as compliance with all applicable national and international export, re-export or import control laws and regulations, including obtaining any necessary licenses, permits, authorizations or approvals necessary for the delivery of the Vehicle to the Buyer (except to the extent that the Seller is responsible under the agreed delivery terms) and for the export of the Vehicle, when applicable, payment of customs duties, clearance charges, taxes, brokers’ fees and other charges.

If the Seller exercises its right to terminate the Contract, the Seller shall reimburse the Buyer for the remainder of the Price after deducting from the Price the amount of any loss incurred by the Seller. In this case, 20% (twenty percent) of the Price shall be deemed to be the Seller's minimum, just, fair, reasonable and indisputable loss in connection with the termination of the Contract due to the fault of the Buyer, which need not be separately proved, and the Parties consider that the appropriate amount of compensation is fair and reasonable in view of all the steps that the Seller will have undertaken to perform the Contract and the reduction in the value of the Vehicle due to the breach of Contract.

- If any necessary or advisable licenses, authorizations or approvals are not obtained, whether arising from inaction by any relevant government authority or otherwise, or if any such licenses, authorizations or approvals are denied or revoked, or if the applicable export control laws and/or regulations would prohibit the Seller from fulfilling the Contract or any obligation under the Contract, or would in the Seller’s judgment otherwise expose the Seller to a risk of liability under the applicable export control laws and/or regulations if it fulfilled the Contract or an obligation under the Contract, the Seller shall be excused from such obligations under the Contract and shall not bear any liability towards the Buyer.
